Opening Words: Women value free spirits. Men bottle them.

Plot: Jimmy Grissel, a man who had been on the wanted list for some time, has now been arrested for bootlegging. The moonshine was only good for keeping windshields clean. In response, Red decides to start his own distillery. He just wants some windshield cleaner, but does not want to degrade himself by buying anything from Humphrey's Everything Store, which now owns it. Red convinces a reluctant Harold to take part in the activity. Red then gets all the bottles from the last illegal distillery, while Junior brings his mom's car. The men brew it in the lodge kitchen, former haunt of Eddie Johnston. They try to distill their moonshine through the engine of the car, but something goes terribly wrong. It blows the car out into the woods. They then try to use the bottles for spring water from the spring at Possum Hill, but get very little business. The only two crates they sell are to the the disease testing club at the university in Port Asbestos. They then try to bottle Possum Hill air with the empty bottles and market it to Los Angeles, only to be rejected, because it smelled funny (Los Angeles being one of the most polluted cities in the U.S). In the end, Red trades the bottles for twelve gallons of windshield washer from Dalton.
